Trump administration still considering Iowa’s Obamacare waiver

Published



The Department of Health and Human Services is still considering an Obamacare waiver from Iowa, despite a report saying that President Trump urged officials to reject it.

“Iowa’s individual health insurance market is collapsing because of Obamacare,” said Brenna Smith, press secretary for Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds. “The Governor’s Office and Iowa Insurance Division are in constant communication with the White House and CMS, seeking approval on our state’s Stopgap Measure. The Stopgap Measure ensures 72,000 Iowa farmers and small business owners have access to affordable health insurance in 2018.”
